Philippians 4:8-19

New International Version

⁸ Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ⁹ Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice.^(A) And the God of peace^(B) will be with you.

Thanks for Their Gifts

¹⁰ I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me.^(C) Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. ¹¹ I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content^(D) whatever the circumstances. ¹² I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry,^(E) whether living in plenty or in want.^{(F) 13} I can do all this through him who gives me strength.^(G)

¹⁴ Yet it was good of you to share^(H) in my troubles. ¹⁵ Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days^(I) of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia,^(J) not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;^{(K) 16} for even when I was in Thessalonica,^(L) you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.^{(M) 17} Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account.^{(N) 18} I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus^(O) the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant^(P) offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. ¹⁹ And my God will meet all your needs^(Q) according to the riches of his glory^(R) in Christ Jesus.
